Re: no songs appearing in playlists

This a known bug with the desktop app and Spotify is investigating the issue. On top of what @OneByBoo suggested there is a workaround which seems to be working for some users. Can you try the following steps:

Open Notepad as an administrator (right-click - Open as Administrator)

go to File - Open and navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

Choose "All Files" instead of "Text Documents" next to the File Name box. You'll see a handful of files. Pick hosts and click on Open

When the file is open, you will see a block of text with # in front of each line and might see entries like 0.0.0.0 website.com127.0.0.1 website2.com

Check for any entries with Spotify in the address. Examples may look like: 0.0.0.0 weblb-wg.gslb.spotify.com0.0.0.0

If you do find any lines with Spotify, please remove them.

Save your changes and restart Spotify.

There is also an open issue about this here where you can track it and vote for it so it catches more attention. I hope this will get fixed on Spotify's end soon. Cheers!

Re: no songs appearing in playlists

I have excatly the same problem. At first, some of the song were unable to play (when I tried to play some track, the album cover did not appear to bottom left corner, and the playback did not start. After clean reinstall of Spotify player (Windows desktop version on Windows 10), I could not play any track and all the songlists were empty, even spotify generated songlists. I tried to clean install Windows Store version of Spotify player, but it did not make any difference.

On Web Players, the tracks on playlists shows up, but I can not play any of these. The playback does not start, nothing happens when clicking 'Play'. I tried web player on Google Chrome (Version 72.0.3626.119 64-bit), on Firefox (version 65.0.1 32-bit) and even on Internet Explorer 11 and On Edge. Same result on every browser. I have tried to disable all Add-ons on Chrome, but it did not help. I have installed Add-ons on chrome: AdBlock,

Re: no songs appearing in playlists

I've been having this issue since forver, I'm pretty sure it started to occur when I were using other devices at the same time, like trying to pause my mobile playing music from my PC and it just hiccupped and died on me...
